Uranium prices steady as EIA releases annual market report
The end-of-July spot price for uranium was $86.36 per pound, as reported by Cameco—roughly the same as it has been since February. Analytics firm Trading Economics reported a uranium futures price of $86.60 per pound, a figure that also has been holding steady since early April.
These updates come as the U.S. Energy Information Administration has released its 2025 Uranium Marketing Annual Report, which examines in detail multiple aspects of the U.S. uranium market. Data are derived from answers given in the Uranium Marketing Annual Survey, which collects information on contracts, deliveries (during the past year and projected for the next 10 years), purchased enrichment services, inventories, fuel assembly usage, and market requirements.

We estimate the influence of the discrepancy of the cross sectional shapes between the magnetic flux tube and the equi-potential surface at the mirror throats of the anchor cell on the radial drift of the plug potential bounce ion. The radial potential profiles are assumed to be Gaussian. It is found that the discrepancy enhances the radial drift of the bounce ion and the spread radial potential profile moderates the enhancement. The radial potential profile of the core plasma is adjusted by controlling the electrostatic potentials of the coaxially separated end plate. It is found that the spread type of radial potential profile is effective for the retardation of the radial transport of the bounce ions.
